    Come and let us know, that's exactly what the Carrouje is for!

June 15th, 2020 :    The Norman language in the spotlight!


    Today we are very happy to offer an original text from the Trottebec Sisters, our Norman and Norman-writing neighbours. They kindly accepted to play our little game of minority languages duo and suggested that we discover the life of Clotilde VAUTIER. Vautier was a young artist, who became famous but unfortunately died very young.

    If you want to have a good look at her considerable work, head for the website of the association of The Friends of the Painter Clotilde Vautier (they also very kindly gave us a beautiful photograph of the artist).

    As for us, we aim to please! We know that you enjoy many a topic, from the subject itself to linguistics, and we tried to kill these two birds with one paintbrush: Our presentation of this Norman-Gallo text is a sort of Rosetta stone of our languages, all the while adapted to the short size of smartphone screens.

    We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we loved preparing it!

April 24th, 2020 :    Major makeover for the School of Gallo!


    Designed and built as an emergency project, the School of Gallo went live on September 16th, 2016 when the Academy of Gallo itself was launched.

    While it is still used very regularly all around the world, we decided to design it anew, for 3 major reasons:

  • to be able to offer new public and personalised services in ever shorter timescales;

  • to provide a 100% bilingual display (French/English) of absolutely all the sections of the School ; the display can already be multilingual (French, English and Gallo in service today);

  • to make, for an upcoming major project, the content fully configurable thanks to an entirely new software architecture (more details in the Carrouje).

    •     In terms of content, we went back to all the lessons of the first school and we added on to them: there is now an Intermediate level, and the "Pronunciation" and "Grammar" sections were also enriched with numerous cards.

        While you familiarise yourself with the new School, the first version of the School of Gallo will remain online for a few months.

        What doesn't and won't change is that the School is free for ever and for everyone!

        Enjoy discovering the new School of Gallo and a renewed way to teach yourself Gallo!

    February 24th, 2020 :    Opening of "L'écrivaije corse"


        Following friendly exchanges with "Anima cappiata", we are pleased to offer you in Gallo some complete stories of today's Corsican literature.

        Translating a work of art into another language is a way of valuing two languages and two cultures at the same time. This is why the Corsican authors we contacted - who already have books published - all gave us their agreement to translate into Gallo.
        In order to allow each author to follow our work in translating their short stories, we have set up a dedicated space, "Spartimentu Corsu-Galo" within the Carrouje.

    January 13th, 2020 :    To help you write Gallo well


        The danger of writing a language as it is spoken is to make it evolve, through creolization, into a new language.
        For a predominantly oral language, the phenomenon can be fatal to the survival of the language if the number of speakers is declining.

        So let's not let Gallo literature become incomprehensible not only to future generations but also to us Gallo speakers!

        To help you, we have prepared this short guide to help you write Gallo.

        Good fast appropriation!
